Physiotherapy Clinic

Our Physiotherapy Clinic provides assessment and treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Our physiotherapists work with you to develop personalised exercise and rehabilitation programs to aid recovery and improve mobility.

Phlebotomy Clinics

Due to the continued pressures on primary care, it is with regret that, as a surgery, we are not able to offer phlebotomy services to some of our patients.

Current Criteria for blood test appointments at our practice:

• Over 70’s
• Patients with long term conditions including:
  • Diabetes
  • Heart Failure
  • Cancer patients
  • Learning Disabilities

The reason for this is lack of capacity and multiple non-attendance in the last few weeks for these appointments.

If you do not meet the current criteria, you will be asked to go to the hospital for your bloods. We will ask which hospital you prefer; Bedford Hospital or Lister Hospital and a request form will be raised for you to collect.

Appointments for blood tests need to be made by accessing the relevant hospital’s website.

• Bedford Hospital
• Lister Hospital

Request forms must be taken with you to your appointment.

Blood tests requested by the hospital should be carried out at the requesting hospital.

Cervical smears

All appropriate women aged 25-64 are entered into our computerised cervical cytology call and recall system. Letters are sent out at regular intervals.

If you are unsure about when you are due for your next smear, please call the practice and discuss this with a practice nurse.
